THESE WATERS BLEED DEEP

WRITER/DIR: Michael Bishop
PRODS: Michael Bishop, Christian Pinto
CAST: Michael Bishop, Xavier Townsend

The first film in a trilogy titled “Fluid”, presenting the past, present, and future effects of slavery, colorism, and homophobia within the African American community. “These Waters Bleed Deep” touches on the psychological and physical turmoil that enslaved Africans faced as they crossed the Atlantic to the Americas, a tragic journey known as the Middle Passage. Still, we want to bring to light the vivacious splendor that is the African culture. Through dance, fashion, lighting, and spoken word, this project aims to show the horrors of the past and the magnificence of what is and can be.
